If you want a hardcore track-focused monster that can also be driven on the road, you buy a Porsche 911 GT3 RS. It’s the only way. Sure, there was the BMW M4 GTS but that wasn’t as good as the GT3 RS and it was so limited that only a select few could buy one. Many track-focused sports cars have come and gone but the 911 GT3 has been the only constant and the best of them all. And this latest one is the best one yet. Packing a slightly revised version of the same 4.0 liter, naturally-aspirated flat-six engine, the new Porsche 911 GT3 RS makes 514 hp and 346 lb-ft of torque. That makes it the most powerful naturally-aspirated 911 ever. When paired with its as-standard seven-speed PDK dual-clutch gearbox, the 911 GT3 RS can get from 0-60 mph in a claimed three seconds flat. That’s damn quick for a naturally-aspirated flat-six engine. What’s special about this specific car, the one that debuted at the 2018 New York Auto Show, is that it comes with the … [Read more...] about 2018 NYIAS: Porsche 911 GT3 RS

NEW YORK — The 2019 Porsche 911 GT3 RS made its debut just a few weeks ago at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show. It's faster and more powerful than ever before thanks to extensive use of carbon fiber and a 520-horsepower 4.0-liter flat-six screamer mounted out back. For the 2018 New York Auto Show, Porsche's GT division is rolling out the GT3 RS Weissach Package, an $18,000 carbon-fiber weight-loss program. This is the first time the Weissach Package has been available on a 911 GT3 RS. The Weissach name really made its mark as an eye-watering $84,000 option on the Porsche 918 Spyder. The diet helped the 918 go from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.6 seconds and 124 mph in just 7.2 seconds. Porsche hasn't announced performance figures for the GT3 RS with the Weissach Package, but expect 0-60 times to fall below 3 seconds. … [Read more...] about 2019 Porsche 911 GT3 RS gets faster still with Weissach Package

Watching cars, especially purpose-built track cars, get pushed beyond their preconceived boundaries is addicting.

The new Porsche 911 GT3 RS is out. This is the second and final GT3 RS that will be based on the current 991 platform, which is set to be replaced by a 992 generation later this year. What a bow out for the ultimate motorsports Porsche for the road. The 4.0 litre six-cylinder naturally aspirated engine has been massaged to put out 20 hp more for 520 hp at 8,250 rpm. The same engine in the previous GT3 RS and current standard GT3 is rated at 500 hp. The gains are from new intake and exhaust systems, as well as tweaks to the engine management. The flat-six, which revs to 9,000 rpm, is mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch PDK automatic gearbox. Like before, there’s no manual option. The GT3 RS accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.2 seconds, which is a tenth faster than the car it replaces. Top speed is up slightly from 310 to 312 km/h. Autocar reports that the engine actually develops more power than is claimed and could have been homologated at 530 hp, but Porsche decided to err on … [Read more...] about 2018 Porsche 911 GT3 RS

In the marketing materials, Porsche claims the 4.0's standard center-lock wheel arrangement reduces unsprung weight. According to my scale, that's not necessarily true. Even if it was, the whole system is a huge pain to deal with—you need to buy a special geared tool to amplify the torque to the 440 lb-ft (!) required for each wheel's single nut, and the process of tightening-loosening-tightening is a huge production. The torque is so great that it requires the help of a second person to hit the brakes so the front wheel doesn't spin when you wrench on it, and my wife usually has better things to do.

The change was relatively straightforward; new hubs from a 2007–2008 GT3 and new wheel bearings ($1700), plus labor ($1700). I also had to buy new wheels ($3500), but selling the old ones ($3000) helped defray some of … [Read more...] about Long-term Update: 2011 Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0

These are official images of the 2018 Porsche 911 GT3 RS, first posted by Australia’s Drive. The pics have since been removed, but what goes online is sure to be captured and shared. According to reports, the ultimate 911 will come with 20 extra horses, which takes things to 520 hp from the naturally aspirated 4.0 litre flat-six that revs till 9,000 rpm. That gives the RS a lead over the 500 hp from the regular GT3. No torque figures have been mentioned but the outgoing GT3 RS and today’s GT3 has 460 Nm. This green monster is expected to ship with a PDK auto gearbox – no manual. The above has led to a slightly faster 0-100 km/h time, a tenth faster at 3.2 seconds. The 312 km/h top speed is 2 km/h higher than before.Word is that Porsche has retuned the car’s rear-wheel steering system and tweaked the aerodynamics.
